Lampposts: The tying of ribbons and balloons is permitted on lampposts across campus but must be approved by Plant Operations. No adhesives may be used on lampposts, as the ink from flyers and posters leaves permanent residue. For approval, send your group name, dates you wish to use the lampposts, and your reason for doing so to JHU Facilities.

Groups may not chalk in areas not exposed to rain or snow, i. e. under the Breezeway or in the Gilman Tunnel. Groups may only chalk on walks or sidewalks, and not on trees or buildings. Chalking content is subject to the same level of appropriateness as fliers, and student groups are held to the same standards imposed on fliers. Only non-toxic,“ kid chalk” may be used for chalking.
